Gnoming around

I recently got these fabrics from Michael Miller

(a TAD late, but better late than never… or maybe they are just 11months too early? not really but that’s ok)

I had originally planned on making a pillow with the Accuquilt gnome die if I had gotten these before December, but now that they were “late” I figured I’d slow down and make something else! the gnome fabric is just adorable so I started thinking about English Paper Piecing (EPP) and I played in EQ and came up with this- I used a triangle layout so I could fill in any shape I wanted to make triangles, diamonds, hexagons and half hexagons.

I printed them out without the black lines and I already have a bunch of cardstock cut with the EPP QUBE set from Accuquilt, and the fabrics would be fussy cut so I actually didn’t “need” the set for this, but just to show.

I cut out enough for 3 of each block, and I like to glue baste my EPP so here’s the 6 sets, notice how half the hexagons are straight the other half is on point because that’s how I designed the blocks.

I’ll work on these while driving to and from church or other road trips where I’m a passenger, but I did manage to do this on one trip 🙂

I don’t have a “plan” yet for what I’ll make but I’m pretty sure I’ll need to make a 7th one if they should all connect, I’ll see when I get that far.
